Robert Jordan was an excellent writer. I first discovered him from his conan books. A friends advice pointed me back at these books and I figured I owed it to myself to delve into the 14 book collection and see if I could read the entire series in less than a year. The challenge is on. Not sure if I can do it or not but I'll give it a go.

I really liked this book and the possibilities. Jordan's imagination was amazing! But this series went on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on and you get my meaning I hope I covered all the books. His characters become lame when dealing with sex or the possibility of sex. Jordan cannot write about sex or attraction of the opposite sex. Which is distracting.

After all these years, I'm happy to say that I still enjoy Eye of the World as much as ever. Sure, there are things in the book that these days seem hackneyed, but at the time, they were bold new steps in fantasy, and I think that deserves some respect. The reason these sort of things became so common is in large part due to how well Jordan handled them. All told, I firmly believe this is a must read for anyone who wants to have a clue about modern fantasy and how the genre has come to be where
